According to Robbie Williams, he squandered his opportunity with popstar Kylie Minogue after he laughed at her while she was naked due to drunkenness.
During the filming of the video for the hit single Kids, the two collaborated, wherein Kylie undressed for the final scenes.
In his new book, You Know Me, Williams shares how the unexpected sight of the woman he had admired for years undressing caused him to laugh, which he now acknowledges left her feeling ‘offended.’
Regrettably, yes, Williams, we are familiar with you, and honestly, you’re a bit of a dickhead, mate.
In the recently released book that reflects on his two decades in pop music, Williams revealed that he had a crush on Minogue since her Neighbours days in the late 1980s.
However, after years of adoration from a distance, he admits he acted ‘like a bit of a teenage boy’ during the video shoot.
‘I couldn’t understand why my humor wouldn’t land, why my ability to be myself seemed to falter,’ he remarked.
To muster up some Dutch courage, Williams started drinking Drambuie liqueur, which ultimately backfired, he remembered.
He wasn’t informed that the scene involved Kylie removing a robe to show she was dressed in nothing but a minuscule G-string.
“I couldn’t help but laugh. I don’t think Kylie appreciated that,” said Williams.
“I might have upset her because she was likely feeling vulnerable being naked on set and in front of me.”
“Any chance of anything happening vanished the moment I laughed at her. Maybe she enjoys being nude, but I doubt she appreciates being laughed at by some Stokie fool.”
It was likely even more aggravating for her to be in the same room as someone lacking talent.
In his book, Williams admits he has felt too embarrassed to address the incident until now. However, he expressed that he hoped mentioning it in his book would serve as a sort of apology.
Everyone makes errors or wishes they could rewind time to alter events. Yet, when such moments occur, most individuals would reach out to resolve things immediately—not wait years to reference it in an attempt to sell a presumably subpar book.
Buford Balony says: As if you ever had a chance anyway, mate; she doesn’t go for your type.
